Welcome to another video! This is a particularly special one 😭
Many of you have been following along with the 'write a novel with me' vlogs. It's been incredibly heartwarming to see how invested you've all become in Project Tea Cup. This novel means so much to me. I've worked SO INCREDIBLY hard on it, and on all of my writing work leading up to this. I'm still in shock that I got a literary agent 😭
I'm still in shock that my querying journey is done. When December came around, I really did think that Project Tea Cup was dead. I thought that I would have to go back to the drawing board and make something new and try again in two years’ time. That first week of December, when the flurry of attention started rushing in is probably one of the most surreal weeks of my life. To have gone from such profound silence for months, to suddenly LOADS of emails was just amazing. I hope you enjoy this very candid, very earnest video! There was so much I had to cut out for the sake of brevity, and it still ended up being just about 40 minutes long hahah. If you've ever wanted a documentary length video about querying, I suppose, HERE YOU GO~
Take care everyone! Thank you so incredibly much for being here. I'm so, so excited for 2024 and for Draft 6 of Project Tea Cup and to begin the submission process at some point in the future 💛😊

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey!! 😭💛💛 This was a huge video to make, and I really hope you like it. I also wanted to thank a few beautiful people who helped me with this.
Namely, Jen Campbell who not only proofed my entire submission package in late November when I was spiralling about my many rejections but who also coached me through the choosing of my agent when I was, again, spiralling 😅 Her advice was invaluable, and I'm so indebted to her! Jen's channel: @jenvcampbell
I also want to thank Lucy Richardson, who was going through her own querying journey at the same time as me. I'm so excited for her (she received representation a week or two before I did), and she was incredibly supportive! Lucy's channel: @thebookbelle
Of course, I want to thank Tyler for being wonderful, always, but particularly for building me a PC strong enough to render this monster video, which had over 12 hours of raw footage and took at least 45 hours to edit. It only crashed once while rendering 💛
thank you for taking us with you on such an amazing journey and congratulations!!! I can't wait to read the book ^_^
May I ask you a question? Do you have to meet with agents before they will take you on? As a mother with a young one, super shy and not just a touch of social anxiety and a hearing problem that makes phone calls impossible, I would find it nigh on impossible 🙈
Congratulations! 🎉 And thank you for being so honest about the process. I had no idea there are so many steps to get a book published. I genuinely hope I get to read your book someday. Do you have any favorite resources you'd recommend to aspiring writers?
I was cheering aloud in your video. I knew agent 3 would be the one, just an inner feeling, when the video showed how happy you looked while talking to her. And I am so glad you shared your journey with us, because as a writer myself, it has helped immensely in knowing what to expect and the patience it requires. 💖 I hope everything comes together soon. I'll buy your book when it comes out, I hope it gets to India!
I am SO EXCITED and happy for you Christy and getting to watch the behind the scenes is such a joy! It’s been amazing to have been a part of your journey ♥️ (also how is this video not only an incredible documented journey of your querying process but a stunning vlog too?!) xx
I never comment on videos, but I feel COMPELLED to wholeheartedly congratulate you and cheer you on!!! Been a subscriber of yours for a while and I’ve seen you go through the transition from a full-time job to being self-employed, publishing A Year in Tokyo, and the writing process for Project Teacup which is a challenging journey on its own. Throughout all of this, your heart, optimism, and genuine passion for storytelling is what completely endeared you to me and made me your cheerleader. So very excited for you. You deserve it all and can’t wait to see what’s next!!! Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
okay same I never comment - YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!
As a university English professor, I am on a strict no buy this year, but the only thing I am allowing myself (if it comes out in time) is to purchase your book and the comfiest pair of pajamas to enjoy it in. I am beyond thrilled for you. 🎊 congratulations!!
I will break my book buying ban for Christie too 😊
"Add a romance plot" yeah... nah 😂
So happy for you! You really deserve this! I can't wait to read it ❤
yes omg I was so happy she didn't go with that agent lol
Isn't the book already "adult". Or does adult mean something else in this context?
I think it just means it's not YA. Since a lot of fantasy is YA
That first agent is an absolute snake. Writing "nothing short of remarkable" based of an excerpt only to ghost her for months. How messed up is that. Wheres the social etiquette smh
Christy, I fully cried about 5 times while watching this video. I am SO excited for you!! And, even though I don’t know you, so incredibly proud. You have put so much tireless effort into this and I’m so moved by your whole journey. Congratulations!!! You deserve this. I have so many more emotions inside that I can’t even express. Well done!!
I STARTED CRYING WHEN I LOGGED INTO RUclips AND SAW THIS AS MY FIRST NOTIFICATION!!!! YOU DESERVE THIS AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE YOU GET WITH THIS ALL!!!!! you are giving all of us baby writers hope and I hope you know how exciting and inspiring this is ❣
Almost 40 minutes??? I'M TRYING SO HARD NOT TO CRY FROM PURE JOY😭😭😍😍
Dearest Christy, I'm so thrilled for you! I could definitely tell the difference in your face when you were first talking to Bailey. Working with an agent will be challenging but ultimately it's going to be a relationship of trust, and you looked like you felt you were in a safe place when talking to her. That's huge. Please remember this very thing always: there is a difference between making compromises, and feeling compromised. The agent that asked you to change the crux of what you loved about the story and the characters' relationships... I think that very much jumps from the territory of "making compromises" (which you might very well do with other agents with reasonable requests) and into the territory of "feeling fundamentally compromised" (which would be a deal-breaker, pulling the hearth out of the story's house). Asking you to add in a romance plot very much reflects the current trends, and over 2023 Romantasy as a genre was huge, so they're looking at what's going to sell. But trends come and go. I feel like a romantasy could almost make a novel dated, which could be at odds with the more 1920's-vibe of your novel that you worked so hard to create. Bailey clearly believes that your work can stand on its own two feet without those feet having to do a coordinated dance for a tiktok/booktok trend. I'm so proud of you.
You talent in storytelling is beyond writing. It just shines through this 40-minute video, without making me feel it's 40 minutes. I'm looking forward to reading your book!
This video made me cry. It's beautiful to see someone succeed.
As a writer who just went through the process of choosing between two offers from publishers, I was right there along with you with the stresses and joys! Such a thrill--I'm so happy for you!
Did you have an agent?
This is such a valuable look behind the curtain of publishing! When Christy inevitably becomes a bestselling author, other aspiring authors will surely look back on this video as a great source of information.
Already watched this around the time it came out, but I’ve been in the query trenches for about a month now with a couple requests. And this has helped soothed my anxiety so much. Thank you for making such an awesome and heartfelt documentary of your time querying!
Best of luck with it! I hope you get some positive news soon 💛💛
I honestly feel that I have never been more invested in a RUclips video. You have such a unique and lovely way of sharing your thoughts and feelings of your journey as a writer. I could really grasp the emotions and feel honored that you've been sharing all of this with us and put in all the effort to create such an insightful vlog. I am so, so happy for you and wish you all the best for your further journey with your novel! 😊😊
I've always known based off of your work ethic alone that so many people were going to love this story. I am so happy for you that this many proffesionals were willing to represent you with the story largely untouched.
You are very inspiring!
OMG! Thank you for sharing this Journey! I cried when you received the first offer or representation. this is a HUGE win for you, Christy! You're such an inspiration for writers like me who are also aspiring authors. Congratulations! 2024 is going to be an amazing year for you, I can feel it!
I am so happy and relieved that you chose agent #3, because it felt like she understood you and the book better. Congratulations Christy!
This video came out right as I started my querying journey and now that I got my first rejections (and ghostings), I find myself coming back for this just to know that I'm not alone. Querying is so hard but I have to keep reminding myself that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
thank you for sharing this query vlog christy! i recently queried my first book for 3 months last year which ended in nothing but rejections and feeling hopeless. i ultimately decided to self-publish my book instead which i am working on now. i also shared a vlog of my querying process (in which i cried a lot lol) and i really appreciate yours too. it made me feel a lot less alone! i'm an aussie writer content creator too so i have always been so inspired by your channel! your writing, and your videos - its my dream to do what you do. i am SO happy for your amazing success - i wish you all the best with project.teacup!
Watching this got me so emotional honestly - I'm actually teary-eyed?? Watching your videos every week, seeing the start of project tea cup and then to this.. it's been so exciting to see all this come to fruition and a privilege to witness that journey. I'm genuinely so happy for you!!! Hard work does pay off. 💛💛💛💛 So excited to see what's to come from here!!
This made me so emotional! I’m not one who tends to comment on things but I have to tell you how proud I am! There’s hope for aspiring authors and that’s a wonderful thing 😊
Congratulations Christy, this is brilliant news. It is great to see your hard work starting to pay off ❤ The querying process seems torturous but I am glad it yielded positive results in the end!
I've never commented on your videos before, just have been silently enjoying them. But once I saw the title on the main RUclips page, I had this instant urge to go to the comments and say "Congrats!". It is so wonderful and amazing. Wish you luck, and success, and patience in your journey with the novel!
Almost teared up watching this. Thank you for sharing the vulnerable highs and lows of this process, and big congratulations!
Christy, I am profoundly happy for you. Thank you for putting so much love and care into this heartfelt account of your publishing journey. I felt as though I was right there with you. Bravo!
I'm so happy for youuuuuu! And so trilled you choose Agent 3. Without knowing the details, I was rooting for that agent! Is so exciting to see the rollercoaster of emotions throughout the process, I cried with you and got excited when the flow of positive answers started to arrive. Knowing that all ended up so well gave me so much hope that if you work hard, you can achieve success, it was really inspiring to see that you did not gave up when you start receiving negative feedback. Just want to say that I am looking forward to see your book in the bookstore!
Of topic - My sister offered me your book A Year in Tokyo for my birthday because I was going to Japan that year, I took some notes out of it and made my trip even better (and with more ghibli merch let's be honest :P)
All the best for your future steps! :D big hug from Portugal!
Do I have any intention of publishing beyond posting short stories on my tumblr and creating the occasional ebook? No. Did I watch this all the way through with bated breath? Absolutely yes! Congratulations!!
I don't know that I've ever been this happy and excited for a total stranger. Congratulations on such an incredible journey and thank you dearly for sharing so much of the process with us. It's been an absolute joy to watch. Truly awe inspiring!
This entire process looked entirely terrifying and stressful, and I congratulate you for coming out the other side successful! As I near the end of my novels first draft, as scary as it was to watch, I hope to one day be going through the same. Good luck on the future of your novel, I hope to see it on shelves one day.
Congratulations! Such a fascinating journey to see from the "inside" somewhat. I sincerely hope you were writing something else whilst this all played out. : ) This is so valuable to see -- the nuances, the specifics, the detailed ups and downs -- as another writer, much appreciated. New to your channel, thank you for your vulnerability -- will enjoy your journey and insights. Cheers
Huge huge congrats! You 100% deserve this and it was such a joy seeing the beginning of project teacup to now!
Oh my God Christy! This ~40mins video made me smile, cry, smile again, anxious, and eventually SO happy with you & for you! You are such a genuine and pure soul that all the rollercoaster of your feelings transcended the screen.🧡 Thank you so much for being very transparent and honest about the whole book-writing process. This one, especially, has a strong documentary feel that I adored. I am sure we all deeply appreciate how you use your platform to inform, inspire, share and enlighten. Wishing you all the very best and hoping to read Project Teacup in 2024!!! 🍀
I know it's about four months ago, but....
It is so inspiring to hear about your querying process! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I have no experience in querying yet. I'm working on my high fantasy series still :)
As for those first two agents:
- I felt like they wanted to change your book to something different that is not your story anymore. Adding in a romance plot once the book is already finished?...
- With the third agent you really looked different! That joy on your face after the offer of representation actually brought tears to my eyes! It was so great to hear you got the opposite as to what you expected!
- It's great that agent 4 also was much more in line with your ideas for your book.
Congratulations with your agent! It sounds like Bailey is THE perfect agent for you! I'm really happy for you
🥳🎉
I could not stop crying. I have a short attention span and rarely watch RUclips videos this long, but for you Christy, I made an exception. It was amazing to go on this journey with you, and I'm excited for the day where I can purchase project teacup and share it with my friends and family.
You have worked incredibly hard, Christy. You deserve all the good things that will come your way in 2024. Cheers!
I cried, I got goosebumps, and I'm now bursting from happiness ♥ Congratulations, Christy! I can't wait to see where your journey goes next
Sobbed watching this. I’ve been watching your videos for about four years and seeing your writing journey has been such a joy. It gives me hope for myself as an aspiring writer. Congratulations 🥳💙
Oh my gosh!😭 Ok, first of all, I only semi-recently started following your journey in writing your novel, and I haven't even seen it all from beginning to end, but I just have to say this was incredibly heartwarming and emotional to watch. As an artist myself, dreaming of someday publishing my own work, I was close to sobbing watching these last few videos of finishing the book as well as finding your literary agent. What a beautiful and wonderful thing, it filled me with so much joy and happiness on your behalf! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, and being so open, honest, vulnerable, and authentic about all of this. Though it's not entirely the same, in December of last year I finalized a massive thesis project for my MFA in visual development for animation that I have spent the last 2 years working on. It became an art book filled with development sketches, designs of characters, and places for my own story/pitch for a 2D feature concept that is so incredibly personal and close to my heart. It was highly inspired by my background, and the movies, books, and artistic aesthetics I loved growing up (amongst them the work of Studio Ghibli) so I understand so well how nerve-wracking it can be to send your work out when it's filled with so much of what is you as a person, to be judged and picked apart before you can find someone who wants to work with you. But it's my belief that if you create genuinely, your art and the stories you tell will always find a place in the right hearts. Thank you so much again for inspiring me, I'm excited to keep following your journey going forward ❤
I'm just starting to write my first novel that I want to go hardcore in trying to get published. Everything about it I want to prepare for it to be traditionally published. Watching this video is so motivating, I hope it will be me one day! Thank you for making these videos and documenting your whole process
Congratulations! This is awesome news. The irony of sending of a polite email about realizing the holidays and end of year is around the corner spurring lots of agents to get back to you. I love that Totoro is peeking around the pillow around 20 minutes.
CONGRATULATIONS!! This is amazing, we all have seen the hard work you’ve put towards your writing career. You’ve inspired me to never give up with my writing dreams. 🥳🥳
I cried and got as excited as if I was the one getting representation! Amazing video and amazing news. Your hard work paid off and congratulations to you!!!
Congratulations, Christy! I've loved coming along with you as you've documented your journey and appreciate you showing the road that is becoming an author. You have worked so hard, and I'm so proud of you!
I´m so so happy for you. You inspire me so much to work hard in what I believe and also to enjoy life and be good. The aura that your videos give is so so cozy and warm. Thank you for sharing the good but also the difficulties of the process 😊 Hope that everything goes well with you literary agent! And to be honest so glad that you picked the third one, you seem the most happy when talking to her 🥰
London Calling. As a writer currently looking for an agent, every step of every stage of your journey spoke to me in every way. The thing I hold onto is the fact my writing is good. I believe in myself and I won't give up. That is why I LOVED your video about your journey. Very well done is staying true to yourself. Congratulations!! Martin of London.
Wow!!! Huge congratulations!!! 🎉 What a rollercoaster! Well done!!!!
I’m so happy for you. I was grinning ear to ear and tearing up when you got your first offer of representation. You deserve this, I can’t wait to read your first published novel!
Congratulations, Christy! Thank you for bringing all of us with you on this exciting and emotional journey! I can't wait to see what happens next with Project Teacup!
Congratulations Christy! This is such amazing news to start the year off! And I'm so glad you went with the first agent who offered you representation - it's always been my personal belief that your "people" are the ones who choose you, the ones who make it all seem easy, the ones who don't have to think about it so hard. So excited about your journey ahead!
Congratulations, Christy!! Hard work pays off!! Well, not always, but it is so satisfying when it finally does. You're really inspiring for young (down-to-earth) creators
The way you let us into your journey gives me chills! Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. You are pure magic Christy. I will be purchasing your book the second it becomes available. Bailey is lucky to work with you! Thank you for the front row ticket to your spectacular roller coaster ride.
This was an INCREDIBLE vlog, and I’m so happy to hear you got representation! I’m a writer as well, and I related so much to the many struggles you talked about going through in the quest to become published. It’s so emotionally exhausting. So many ups and downs. I’m currently in somewhat of a down period myself, which sucks, but I suppose this is just what it’s like to be a writer sometimes. Cheers to you and I hope you CELEBRATE this milestone and find a way to treat yourself bc this is a massive accomplishment.
This felt so personal! I shed a few tear along with you. So so so happy and proud of you. ❤🎉
I started out watching your Japan travel videos many years ago and continued since, and I've got to say this is the most delighted a video has ever made me! talk about a pay off haha! big congratulations and good luck with the next steps! thanks for all the videos along the way, seeing this process play out has been nothing short of inspiring
The amount of pride and tears and joy I feel for you could fill an actual ocean! All of the love I can muster in my heart to you, friend! This is just the beginning for you I just know it, you beautiful soul!!! I cannot wait for the second I hold your books in my hands and get to throw myself in these extraordinary words you create. I’m sitting here sobbing longing to give you the biggest hug ever.
So stoked for you! I am weeping tears of happiness and I am so, so eager to read Project Teacup! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for documenting this process so well. It's so organized and eye opening to the process of writing. Makes me realize that revisions have to be bread and butter, something I know how to execute, plug away and get done, since revisions come from the self, beta readers and now agents too. I now totally get why this part of the process is not well documented by authors, it being such an emotional roller coaster, but your way of laying it out in such an organized way, really fit in my brain, I get the overall arc of it now, and maybe how to go about it in the professional way you went thru it. I'll be rewatching and taking notes, this part of the process was always so confusing to me.
Congratulations Christy 😃😍!!!! Looking forward to reading Project Teacup once it's out. You go, girl!❤💛
Okay, I am definitely crying 😢!! Congratulations Christy! This is amazing news and I am so thrilled for you. I know you have been working incredibly hard on this manuscript, and it must feel wonderful to have all of that hard work pay off. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this video on your journey; there are so many aspiring writers out here that will learn from this and be encouraged by your journey. I shared it with members of my writing groups because I think they will really benefit from seeing what this process is like (we are all at different stages of developing our stories). I can't wait to hear more about your book, and to read it one day when it is published (and it will be published)!!!
This makes me so happy! I understand the extraordinary ups and downs of this process and how soul-sucking it can be. I'm in the midst of submissions for my book and seeing your video and your process felt like the universe giving me a bolt of hope. You are lovely. I wish you great success.
i am so so so so SO happy for you Christy!!!! and you best believe i'll be buying project Teacup the moment it comes out!!!!! so incredibly happy for you. wishing you all the best for publishing 💖
Congratulations, it’s such an incredible announce… And a very stirring vlog 🥹 You deserve it ! Bravo ! 🥂
CHRISTY I HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO, IM SO GLAD FOR YOU!!! You deserve the world and im 100% ordering every single book you put out there in the world 🥹
Just finished watching the video and totally didn’t expect to ugly cry while watching this but im soo incredibly glad that you achieved this, im so happy that you’re taking everything to the next step! Thank you for sharing your journey, I truly feel like you are a role model to me even though im in a super different line of work, but its super amazing to watch you work towards your dreams.
Doing exactly what you said myself, I gasped at the video title too.🎉
Congratulations Christy, you deserve it.🎉🎉🎉 🎉
I've never commented here before, but I've been here for your entire Project Teacup journey and just had to say that I'm so happy for you and proud of you! Congratulations!! ❤
This is so incredibly exciting! Even my eyes got all watery when the third agent offered you representation. Congratulations and a Happy, happy New Year!! ✨
You’ve worked so hard for this moment! What a whirlwind! Congrats!!
I am crying right now. I am so insanely happy for you!!! Congratulations, you totally deserve it!
So unbelievably happy for you! My heart was bursting with joy by the end. I cannot wait to read your book and I’m not the least bit surprised that you’re being represented by the same group that represents Patrick Rothfuss. Congratulations 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS!!! This agent sounds perfect you! I'm so excited to follow the rest of your journey on Project Teacup!
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!! so proud of you!
SO PROUD OF YOU CHRISTY!!!
This is genuinely one of the best RUclips videos I've ever seen
That's so exciting Christy! It's incredible to see all of your hard work pay off. Congratulations!!
Omg not me tearing up and cheering when you got the first offer for representation 😭💜 I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU CHRISTY!!!
I can’t even imagine the roller coaster trip you’ve been on, I echo all your followers in saying I can’t wait to read your fantasy novel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats! You are a very hard-working, dedicated writer! It is so interesting for me to watch the querying process you are vlogging about here. I'm older, and I can remember doing queries and submissions of manuscripts back in the late 70s and the 80s, and everything back then was sending things off through the mail with self-addressed stamped envelopes (SASE), and then you'd wait for months and months to hear back from anyone, if you did at all. It was like sending your words off into the void. If you did hear back, it was most often a rejection notice and your manuscript back in the stamped envelope you sent them. It sure feels like the dark ages now. The whole process is so much easier and faster with email!
Knew you could do it! Been watching your progress and how hard you've been working. Very inspiring! Looking forward to hearing about your next steps!
I'm so proud of you. What a gem and an inspiration you are.
As your subscriber for almost a year, I want to say that you deserve these good things in life. I’ve been so excited for you as I followed along your journey to finishing Project Teacup, and now that you’re in the next step of your career, I’m excited for what the future brings for you, Christy! Congratulations~ thank you for sharing your journey! 💖
❤ I saved this video to my watch later playlist because I knew it was going to be all the feels. So so delighted for you and this incredible milestone on your journey to publish! 🎉
YAY! as a fellow artist, I feel this so much! I can't wait to watch this tonight, but first I have to send off some audition tapes, but your success will give me good vibes for today!!!! So happy for you and I can't wait to buy a copy!!
thank you so much for sharing your journey!! I am currently in the querying trenches as well and this encouraged me so much! I started tearing up when you got your first offer of representation and then when you accepted it and I'm so so happy for you!! I cannot wait (fingers crossed) to feel this myself.
I rarely follow your videos nowadays, but I was on a strike while working, watching your Routine Playlist and had to like this video just for the sheer of emotions you put into everything.
I'm glad you got a literary agent.
Wow, I've never had such an in depth look at the "Finding an agent" process--thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations, you have worked so hard to get to this point!! What a lovely holiday present for you.
Your grew so much. I've been a sub since the days your RUclips channel was quite small ( 9 or ten years ago i subbed). And I've been following your journey since.
I'm so happy for you 🫶🏻✨ congratulations
Congratulations Christy!! This is so exciting! ❤🎉 You have worked so hard to get where you are, and it shows that with dedication and patience good things come. As my mum always says, 'good things come to those who wait'. I love watching your videos, your love of reading and dedication to writing have inspired me to follow my heart into what I love doing. Thank you for showing us the ups and downs of life, of writing and the process of getting signed with a publisher. I cannot wait to have your book in my hand! ❤
I'm tearing up!!! Oh my goodness I'm so happy for you!!!
genuinely teared up at your joy when receiving offers. I've been subscribed and following this project for so long now, and seeing you get to this point as an aspiring author myself is so exciting!! you've earned this, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this development takes you! hoping for great things
This was so emotional to watch as someone who also hopes to become a traditionally published author! thank you for sharing this. and Congratulations!! ❤
I have been a silent subscriber for months now, but I just had to leave a comment for this one. Congratulations! And thank you for the inspiration
I can't help but gush over the synchronicity here! When you spotted the moodboard ceiling in New York, I thought surely that must be significant. Then you came to realize your New York-based agent was likely the one while wearing your NY hat :,) My sincerest congratulations to you; you have worked so hard!
This was absolutely beautiful. It moved me to tears. As I embark on my own querying journey, I can empathize with the emotional rollercoaster you were thrust into. Congratulations, I genuinely share in your happiness. I will definitely read Project Tea Cup as soon as it debuts! 🙏
not me crying at 27:00 minutes in ... thank you for the roller coster i sort of needed that honesty to keep being motivated for writing.
OK, I'm behind on videos, but holy crap, congrats!! I actually got teary! And this is SUCH a great opportunity for you. Congrats, and good luck!!
Congratulations Christy! I am so excited to see where this journey takes you, and of course to get a copy of your book once that's published~ 💛
So happy for you! Can’t wait for Project Teacup to be released! 🎉
OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONSSSSS! you deserve this so MUCH!
What a journey! So many congratulations, Christy. You deserve this!
Big big big congratulations to you Christy!! We all see how hard you’ve worked, and I am so happy to see you at this point in your journey! ❤❤❤ Your passion for writing and your work ethic continues to inspire us all too 🥰🥰🥰
